More Images On My Theme

I chose this image because it shows a crocodile from the front and taking a shot of the whole creature. It shows the teeth and skin of the crocodile in this one whole image.


I liked this image because it shows the texture of the crocodile's skin very clearly. You get a good look at the animal from it's side view.


 

This picture focuses mainly on the backside of the crocodile. We get a good look at the tail of the creature which is what ill be focusing on in great depth in my first assignment.




I would also like to include teeth into my model as it is part of the crocodile theme.  I believe teeth with crocodile skin will really work well together to produce a model.

Waves..... the most amazing natural feature, its colours, its random forms and sizes. Something I could sit and watch or listen to for hours. What amazes me the most is every single movement and impact when it colides with the rocky edge of the earth. It's splashes each and every time that hit harder and harder, again and again. It's relationship with the sun and the colourss it creates.




ROCK!........ Existing from the very beginning of time. It's abstract texture that makes it seem even more powerful. Each one of those parallel lines that go on and on and make you want to go on following them forever. 




The rough lumpy scales on a crocodile explains the rough character of the creature. Each one of the lumps are  in order expressing calmness and patience. The mood of a crocodile when on the hunt for food.
